WHO NEEDS A BUSINESS LICENSE?
Starting a business can be an motivational experience especially when you think of the lucrative options in operating one.
The average business make anywhere from $10,000 to millions per year in profits.
So, it is a good idea to start a business.
First, all businesses are required to get a business license because, in general, every person, such as a sole owner, or entity, such as an LLC, engaging
in business activities for profit — including, home based business,
home business, online business, internet and whether wholesaling, i.e. selling in bulk quantities, retailing, selling small amounts of items (including street
vendor sales, flea market or at craft fairs), farming, services (including income received for professional and/or other types of services provided),
construction contracting, rental of personal or real property, even in some cases just receiving business interest income and
royalties — must apply for a general business license.
Of course, complying with licensing requirement is a priority in starting a business because legal rules do not allow you to operate without licensing and
tax registrations. So, it does not matter how you get your income, so long as it is an income, even from a hobby, you are subject to licensing and tax.
In fact, even selling illegal drugs make you subject to taxation for profit derived from such activity.
For example, as the IRS has determined that
all income from whatever source derived is taxable, so do most local, state and federal governments apply that principle for all businesses or persons
that are performing an activity for profit. A person can be a natural person such as a sole proprietor, or a corporate entity such as an LLC.
Therefore, depending on whether you have employees, your gross annual income, your location and type of business, the business license is determined from these
factors but it could be at the federal, state, county or city level or from most of these as is the
case of tobacco license in most states.

HOW ABOUT STARTING A BUSINESS?

Most states, most government jurisdictions do offer a business license with the name business license.
To obtain a business license in in most states, you will need to file for one and if using an assumed business
name, you will to register for a fictitious
business name, trade name, assumed business name, or fictitious firm name. As discussed,
legally, the majority of all businesses need a business license. In fact, ninety eight percent
-- 98% -- of all businesses in in most states need a business license business certificate because
it is required by city, county, state, and federal government depending on the type of business.
For example, if it is a business that involves hazzards, you may need city, county, and state
license as well as a federal license and or permission to do business. Note that home businesses may be subjected
to both a business license certificate and a home occupation required but most need one or the other not both.
However, there is no need to get alarmed because the cost of a license is only about $39 for our service and
about $0 to $40 for the tax or government fee even though it can be higher.

DO I NEED ANY LICENSE AND PERMIT OTHER THAN A BUSINESS LICENSE?
Yes, in in most states, you may need other permit and licensing registrations because there are many
tax and legal consequences with the start of a business. In fact, you may need 2 to 4 licenses
registrations.
For instance, if you use a trade, fictitious, assumed, fictitious, business certificate or firm
name
such as e.g., John Doe, the ultimate company with Superior Services, you will need to register the
business name
with a DBA doing business as certificate, an LLC certificate or a Corporation certificate. Note that
setting up an LLC also requires an LLC operating agreement as well.
As mentioned above, the business certificate is a DBA doing business as name
certificate. If you sell taxable items, especially any item that is tangible, i.e., items you
or anyone can touch, you will need to obtain a sellers permit. Businesses
making sales of such tangible items in in most states are subject to sales tax. You are a in most states
business if: you have a
business location in the state, such as a store, office, or warehouse, and sell taxable, tangible
personal property or services to persons within the state. In addition, if you will hire employees,
you will need to obtain a federal employer tax ID number as well as a state employer tax ID number.
WHAT IS A BUSINESS LICENSE?
Well, in most states, fortunately, things are clear and it is certain that a business license is not another tax ID or an entity certificate such as an LLC.
A business license is one of 3 to 5 permits that a business is required to file in in most states . Anyway, though it is called
a business license, an occupational business license,
a home occupation permit etc., it is actually a type of tax registration.
For example, you need an entity certificate if you are a sole owner, partnership or a corporate structure such as an S Corp or an LLC.
As discussed, more than 90% of all businesses are required to get a business license. It is a permission from the
government that your type of business because different businesses have different requirements.
Consequently, a business with such
permission, can operate at the location it will be set up, that you have
paid the taxes and fees for the inspection that my be required for your type of operation, and
that you have read and will comply with the rules and regulations involved in conducting your
business in the city, county, state and federal jurisdictions that officially affect your business. It is not exactly like a permit.
For instance, a sellers permit is not a business license because a sellers permit lets you charge taxes and buy wholesale, whereas a
business license concerns the location, type and gross revenue of your business and it is like a gross receipt tax on your business because
the fee you pay to obtain a business license is not only the license fee but also an annual tax.
FEDERAL LICENSES
First Consider Federal Licenses and Permits The federal government regulates businesses on the
basis of certain aspects of the business
such as the nature of the business.
Thus, if it is firearms, you will need a federal business license but in most cases, you do
not need one.
STATE LICENSES
The state normally regulates professionals or skilled professions such as plumbing, electricity,
lawyers, architects and doctors. Some states, regulate all types of businesses and you need a
state license regardless of the nature of business.
WHAT DOES A LICENSE ALLOW YOU TO DO?
It does not give you permission to sell any specific products or services. A business license is a permission to do business (almost any business),
though there are limits, and the license is in fact issued to operate a business. So, a business license does not license you to
operate the business type but to operate the business in general.
Thus, for example, you can get a business license to practice law but you still need to pass the state bar to actually practice law because you
cannot practice law without the state bar license even though you need another license for the BUSINESS of law. That is the law office business.
Of course, you do not need a professional license to sell items from home as a home or online business selling on eBay, for example, but you do
need a business license.
HOW MUCH IS TO GET A BUSINESS LICENSE?
Luckily, the government fee is usually $0.00 to $30.00 to $99 but it can be less or nothing
in advance as is the case of at least 5 cities in most states that you only need to pay the fee or tax at the end of the year because
it is a better and more accurate calculation of taxes and fees due.
Other cities, such as in most states, may tax you substantially more. For example, before
issuing a business license, some cities may charge professionals close to $1,000.00 annually to conduct
business in the city limits because as they told me, they give me the privilege to conduct
business in and from their upscale city. Many people correctly think that a business license is a hidden tax.
IS THE BUSINESS LICENSE LIKE THE OTHER LICENSES OR PERMITS?
Furthermore, in most states, a business license is not like a business name registration that is called a
business certificate and may not be like a DBA assumed business name because it is a tax registration and the
other, namely the DBA, is a business organization registration. Furthermore, a business license costs under $100 but
an LLC costs $100 to $200 to set up.
In addition, a business license is not an LLC certificate. For instance, if you file an LLC,
you will need both an EIN and a license in addition to the LLC. In fact, an LLC or DBA is an
entity registration whereas a business
license concerns tax and safety of the business in question as well as the name registration
of the business in question. Neither is a business license a health permit because if you need
a health permit you will need to obtain it separately even though some governments issue them
as one license or permit.

LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:

Q: Is setting up an LLC a better choice than filing a DBA?

A: If the business market projection is a target fot the company you should consider forming an LLC. For example if the assumed business name is .
deas XYZtch Basictrek LLCCo.
this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name. Nor does the trade name registration protects the owner from personal legal or financial liability as forming a limited liability company (LLC) .
It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

Note that once you incorporate no one can register the limited liability company (LLC) name at the state level.

Q: Can I apply by phone and set up a limited liability company (LLC)?. A: You can apply by phone but the best way is to just fill out our online limited liability company (LLC) form.

Q: Does an LLC without employees need a tax ID number?A: An LLC without employees may not need a tax ID number but an LLC with more than one owner does need one. In addition if the LLC is engaged in selling taxable items such as clothing it will need a sales state tax ID number in addition to any other tax ID.

Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)? A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

Q: When do I have to change my limited liability company (LLC)?A: You may have to get a new tax ID number if your status as a business changes. For example if you change from sole owner to a partnership or from LLC to corporation as well as when you buy a new business you need to get a new tax ID under your business name or individual name.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?A:

Q: What are the benefits of havin a DUNS number? A: You can use it to your benefit by providing favorable business information to make it more likely to get a loan from a lender bank.

Q: Do I need to pay sales tax to the state as an LLC?A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
